Lens showing empty field when there is data #89716
Comments
Pinging @elastic/kibana-app (Team:KibanaApp) |
We are sourcing 500 documents for determining whether a field is "available". If the field is only present on some documents, you can be unlucky and run into this case where Lens is reporting the wrong thing. Does it work correctly if you add a filter "x does exist" (x being the field name)? |
If that's the case, there is an issue for this already: #58330 Also, the rest of Lens should still work (if you pull in the field, you should get a chart) |
Yes, if I filter on that field, it shows up in the list of available fields. I'll close out in favor of #58330 but it feels like we'll want a better experience here as we begin to make Lens the default experience. It doesn't seem like Lens handles sparse fields that well. I can understand the performance impact for optimizing for sparse fields, but there has to be a better UX.
I have similar thoughts to @AlonaNadler's in that issue, that was exactly what I thought and immediately went to the older visualize application as a result. |
For some reason I feel like I've opened a bug for this before, so it may already be addressed. I'm looking back 30 days where there is relevant data, but Lens is telling me the field is empty. I would expect this field to be available under all fields. I'm not sure what timeframe we're looking back for data, but should we be matching the global time picker?
